There was another commit by Stefan Monnier 17 seconds earlier (to emacs/lisp/gnus/ChangeLog and, sure enough, the revision #'s are 1.476 & 1.477. Looks like the log_accum.pl script is losing some path information somewhere and sent the diff for those revisions based on the ChangeLog in the parent directory instead of emacs/lisp/gnus/ChangeLog.
It looks like the commit emails are confused too (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-commit/2006-07/msg00951.html & http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-commit/2006-07/msg00952.html). The first (incorrectly) reports that the entire commit happens in emacs/lib/gnus, then (correctly) reports that the modified files are lisp/gnus/ChangeLog and lisp/tabify.el. Both emails have the correct CVSWeb URLs for the files they are reporting, so the data structures are probably correct with the confusion only in the processing and output routines that generate the subject lines and the diffs. Unless I am misunderstanding this as two consecutive commits, one of lisp/gnus/ChangeLog and lisp/tabify.el, followed shortly by one of lisp/ChangeLog. If so, then the problem may run a bit deeper. I don't suppose we might have been so lucky that you had the log_accum.pl debug log enabled during the period in question?
